The mechanism behind the variation in the photoluminescence (PL) of a MoS nanohybrid material with pH was investigated. Highly fluorescent MoS quantum dots dispersed across MoS nanosheets (MoS QDNS) were synthesized by a hydrothermal route in the presence of NaOH. Upon reducing the pH from 13 to 6.5, the PL intensity was markedly quenched. The removal of dangling sulfur atoms by adding mineral acids could be a plausible mechanism for this PL quenching, together with the inner filter effect and Förster resonance energy transfer due to the resulting species. A label-free turn-on fluorescence sensor for HO was developed using this hybrid material. The PL of the acidified MoS QDNS at pH 6.5 increased (i.e., recovered) linearly with the concentration of HO. The dynamic range of the sensor was found to be 2-94 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2 μM. This sensing strategy was also extended for the detection of glucose by appending glucose oxidase (GOx) as a catalyst. In the presence of GOx, glucose oxidizes to gluconic acid and HO, so the original level of glucose can be estimated by determining the HO present. The absence of a complicated enzyme immobilization step is the prime advantage of the present glucose sensor. The current work exemplifies the utility of MoS-based nanoparticle systems in the biological sensor domain. Graphical abstract.

A novel graphene-bridged MoS/CoO (MCG) nanohybrid was well fabricated by a hydrothermal route. The purpose of valuable and economical S-scheme systems with vigorous interface interactions is pressing to photocatalytic efficiency and efficient utilization. While mighty progress has been created with respect to charge carrier bridges, the charge transferring ability of the facility charge carrier bridges is far from capable owing to lower electrical conductivity.

MXene nanosheets have recently become a focus of research for corrosion protection due to their two-dimensional, sheet-like structure and distinct physicochemical characteristics. Nevertheless, their susceptibility to restacking and oxidation restricts their practical applications. To address this, the study proposes a custom hybrid structure by growing molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanoparticles on the TiC MXene nanosheets (MX/MS) to prevent oxidation and restacking.

Diseases caused by viruses, such as monkeypox virus (MPXV) and human papillomavirus (HPV), pose serious threats to human health and safety. Although numerous strategies have been constructed for detecting MPXV and HPV DNA, most methods require either laborious procedures or complicated instruments involving skilled professionals. In this research, a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated colorimetric detection platform for MPXV and HPV sensing was constructed for the first time by applying probe DNA to reprogram the catalytic properties of molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs).

Article Synopsis
  • A ternary hybrid material, MIL-125/MoS/SiO, was created using solvothermal and Stöber methods, combining the properties of three materials for enhanced performance.
  • MIL-125 serves as a matrix that improves the surface area and prevents settling in electrorheological fluids (ERFs), while MoS and SiO contribute conductivity and dielectric properties.
  • Various characterization techniques, including microscopy and spectroscopy, were employed to evaluate the hybrid's structure and performance, revealing stronger electrorheological behavior with higher shear stress without electrical breakdown.
